I didn’t track the amount of time it took to make either of these games. Azul was about 20 hours and Medici was about 12. Medici was so quick because I re-used almost all of the original Medici.

Azul took a little more time than I expected it to. I had to redo the player interface a couple of times and the logic for handling situations where tiles can’t be placed onto the grid were more complex than I expected. The root of the problem was that I wrote the game without really thinking through the option of playing on a free board. When I went back to include that option, I had to make a lot of changes.
